Would it explode?


Thoughts on silver nitrate and it being a disinfectant, being inert to the eye also?

No, it would not.

Why? There's oxygen ans silver can be used in other applications, such as batteries, and silver freebase compounds decompose in air naturally/automatically. So what would it take to make it explosive? More oxygen atoms like O2s?

>There's oxygen
If you burn stuff, it takes up oxygen, and if it burns completely, then the product of that is no longer flammable. So having oxygen alone is neither neccessary nor suffient to be flammable, and similarly, to be explosive.
When an explosive explodes, the atoms in it rearrange into a new stable arrangement. Therefore it is the specific arrangement of atoms that makes or breaks an explosive. In your example you posted silver cyanate. If you were to switch the order of atoms in that cyanate ion around from NCO(-) to CNO(-) you have the fulminate ion, and silver fulminate is the explosive used in bang snaps (little stones coated in a tiny amount that explodes when thrown on the ground).

>silver freebase compounds decompose in air naturally/automatically
No clue what you are talking about. Most silver compounds are perfectly air stable. Granted, some are readily absorbing moisture or are light sensitive. But generally, they are stable to oxygen.
